The homeowners association model is built for community development. Your HOA has the potential to go above and beyond its current offerings. Some HOA communities have their own parks, scenic walking paths, recreation areas, and more.
Behind every in-demand HOA is an excellent association management strategy. It's worth investing in an association manager who's dedicated to forming a strong HOA board, maintenance, and fostering community.
One cornerstone of every HOA is rental property inspections.
At first glance, this detail may seem minor, but it's paramount to sustaining and growing strong HOA communities.

Rental Property Inspections Fill Vacancies
The longer HOA homes sit on the market, the more expenses add up. Just tally up the costs of utilities, property taxes, and fees for just one month alone. Experienced HOA professionals close deals quickly, helping you turn a good profit.
You can't sell an HOA house without proper rental property inspections. Managers should book inspections after every move-out; this also applies to move-in protocols. These inspections give future homeowners the peace of mind of moving into a safe and sound home.
Home inspections identify areas that need improvement, like housing upgrades, repairs, and replacements.
New kitchen features are some of the most requested upgrades by homeowners. Instead of waiting for a homeowner to request an upgrade, you can get ahead of the game by installing new countertops or cabinets before showing the property to leads. An inspection will also identify dishwashers, fridges, and other appliances in need of replacement.
Think of other features potential homeowners may look for during a walk-through.
You can repair or replace the following features before your first showing:
- Old plumbing systems (leaky faucets, running toilets, etc.)
- Chipping or peeling paint
- Interior water damage
- Roofing and siding issues
- Old foundation
- Electrical wiring issues
- Outdated HVAC systems
It's important to partner with trusted local services that can tend to these issues quickly and professionally. One of the jobs of an association manager is to maintain these vendor relationships for a better homeowner experience.
Rental Property Inspections Are Necessary For Compliance
HOA communities have a strong commitment to compliance.
Not only are homeowners subject to community rules, homes and landscaping must be up to code. Homeowners associations use violation tracking to ensure all homeowners comply.
Optimize Your Maintenance Strategy
Quality property maintenance is a cornerstone of professional association management. Inspections are critical for preventative maintenance. They also build trust with homeowners.
Remember to emphasize your dedication to inspections when marketing Orem real estate. This includes highlighting your community's maintenance request process.
Every homeowner should have a direct line to their HOA board or association manager to request maintenance services. Implementing an online request portal is even more convenient, allowing homeowners to submit requests day or night.
